‘We agreed to conducting the election procedure for the Supervisory Board for the second time in order to avoid any legal conflicts and taking into account the interests of all shareholders, the state in the first place. This time, all legal requirements have been followed and a full-fledged and competent supervisory body of the company has been established, involving its independent members. Being in the Supervisory Board, we, as shareholders, will closely monitor the decisions of the company’s management and will do everything in our power for improvement of the company’s financial standing and putting an end to any corrupt practices,’ said Ivan Gerasimovich, a member of the Supervisory Board of KHARKIVENERGOZBUT PJSC.
It is a reminder that on 7 October 2021 the extraordinary general meeting of KHARKIVENERGOZBUT’s shareholders elected the Supervisory Board of the company.
